Kurganov Gets There To Bust Kho

Level 7 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Igor Kurganov opened the action from the cutoff seat to 6,000, and then play folded over to Kitson Kho in the small blind. He three-bet to 16,000, and Kurganov called.

On the {K-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} flop, Kho bet 22,500, and Kurganov made the call to see the {5-Hearts} land on the turn. Kho moved all in for 44,300, and Kurganov made the call, although he did so somewhat reluctantly. Kho had the {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}, proving Kurganov's intuition correct with the second-best {K-Clubs}{Q-Spades}.

But, the {Q-Diamonds} landed on the river and gave Kurganov a winning two pair. He won the pot to send Kho to the rail and moved to about 242,000 in chips.
